Abstract:
Two cases of monochorial twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome were presented. In both of two cases, cases, there were marked difference in hemoglobin levels between two identical twins but in one of two cases, the anemic two was more larger than the pletoric one in birth weight unusually. In one of two cases, both anemic infant and plethoric one survived, but in the other case, both succumbed.
